TI will accept only those assignments for which it has the knowledge, experience and work capacity.

Article 6.
By giving the assignment, the employer indicates that it is aware of the NOLOC Code of Conduct and is deemed to have declared that it will not regard the fact of acceptance of the employee’s counselling as a promise to leave or recognition of the need for this, nor as incompetence on the part of the employee or the existence of an unworkable situation.

• accepting assignments with the consent of the employer or its representative and employee;
• acting at the crossroads of the interests of these parties;
• preventing damage to these parties.

The employee is free, after an exploratory interview with TI, to accept or reject an offer of counselling (from his employer). The employee can also decide to end the counselling during the programme.

The fee is determined prior to the acceptance of the assignment and is not dependent on the outcome of the advice. Nor will any fee be refunded after the assignment has been signed.
